Severe pain, debilitating fatigue, sleep disruption, severe gastrointestinal distress – these hallmarks of chronic illness complicate treatment as surely as they disrupt patients’ lives, in no small part because of the overlap between biological pathology and resulting psychological distress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Illness and Disability cuts across formal diagnostic categories to apply proven therapeutic techniques to potentially devastating conditions, from first assessment to end of treatment. Four extended clinical case examples of patients with chronic fatigue, rheumatoid arthritis, inoperable cancer, and Crohn’s disease are used throughout the book to demonstrate how cognitive-behavioral interventions can be used to effectively address ongoing medical stressors and their attendant depression, anxiety, and quality-of-life concerns. At the same time, they highlight specific patient and therapist challenges commonly associated with chronic conditions. From implementing core CBT strategies to ensuring medication compliance, Renee Taylor offers professionals insights for synthesizing therapeutic knowledge with practical understanding of chronic disease. Her nuanced client portraits also show how individual patients can vary—even within themselves. This book offers clinicians invaluable help with - Conceptualizing patient problems - Developing the therapeutic relationship - Pacing of therapy - Cognitive restructuring - Behavioral modification - Problem solving - Fostering coping and adapting skills Taylor’s coverage is both clean and hands-on, with helpful assessments and therapy worksheets for quick reference. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Illness and Disability gives practitioners of CBT new insights into this population and provides newerpractitioners with vital tools and tactics. All therapists will benefit as their clients can gain new confidence and regain control of their lives.

Right on target. Innovative, nothing comes near it in occupational therapy. A sophisticated meld of occupational therapy and psychology. It is very innovative for occupational therapy and other fields. I am thoroughly impressed.""I have found no occupational therapy book more interesting to me than this one. I always have to go outside of the field to find such rich and interesting material." -Sharan Schwartzberg, EdD, OTR, FAOTA, Tufts University, Boston, MA., review of the 1st Edition This groundbreaking book addresses a critical aspect of the occupational therapy practice--the art and science of building effective therapeutic relationships with clients. A distinguished clinician, scientist, and educator, Renée Taylor, PhD, has defined a conceptual practice model, the Intentional Relationship Model, to identify how the client and the therapist each contribute to the unique interpersonal dynamic that becomes the therapeutic relationship. She emphasizes how therapists must act deliberately, thoughtfully, and with vigilant anticipation of the challenges and breakthroughs that have the potential to influence the course of the relationship.In the 2nd Edition, Dr. Taylor adds extensively to the case content with examples ranging across the age and practice setting continuum. She introduces these clients in Chapter 1 and revisits them throughout the book to illustrate the application of the Intentional Relationship Model to a variegated mixture of common interpersonal challenges in occupational therapy practice. She also includes expanded coverage of how to conduct a client interview and to effectively manage difficult client behaviors, conflicts, and other rifts with clients and their caregivers.

RenÉe Taylor and an international team of contributors carry on Gary Kielhofner’s innovative vision to demystify the research process and demonstrate that research is essential to occupational therapy practice. They present a comprehensive guide to conducting applied research in the field from qualitative, quantitative, and mixed perspectives for students and clinicians. You’ll begin with a grounding in conducting evidence-based practice in OT and an explanation of the six broad components of the research process. Then you will explore research designs, measurements, and statistical analysis for qualitative and quantitative studies. You’ll examine the steps and procedures required to conduct research and how research can be used to shape professional practice and improve patient care. Additional topics include needs assessment research, program evaluation research, mixed methods research, outcomes research for evidence-based practice, writing a literature review, and obtaining funding for research.New, Updated & Revised! Reflecting the latest developments in the field and current ACOTE standards New & Expanded! Increased attention to qualitative research with additional chapters that cover the hands-on application of qualitative methodology Revised! Chapters on statistics that focus on their use and interpretation Expanded! More examples and images of research-related tools, approaches, data collection, data analysis, and data outcomes work Expanded!

A “Review and Apply” sections with multiple-choice and open-ended questions and activities Explores statistical analysis, including meta-analysis-research design and measurement tools that are part of quantitative research OT-specific examples

MOHO er Kielhofners model for menneskelig aktivitet. Bogen er 3. udgave, oversat og bearbejdet fra 5. udgave af Kielhofner's Model of Human Occupation. MOHO består af fire elementer: vilje, vanedannelse, udøvelseskapacitet og omgivelser, og forklarer hvordan en person engagerer sig i aktivitet som et resultat af det dynamiske og gensidige samspil mellem dem. Bogen er inddelt i fire afsnit, der inddrager case-eksempler og udsnit fra cases. Første afsnit forklarer de enkelte bestanddele i MOHO og giver et overordnet syn på MOHO som en begrebsbaseret praksismodel. Andet afsnit drejer sig om anvendelsen af MOHO i praksis, inklusive terapeutisk ræsonnering, MOHO-baserede vurderinger samt planlægning og dokumentation af ergoterapi. Tredje afsnit viser primært, hvordan MOHO kan anvendes til børn og ældre. Fjerde afsnit indeholder redskaber til anvendelsen af MOHO i praksis og indenfor forskning. MOHO præsenterer den mest udbredte og anvendte praksismodel i ergoterapi og er anvendelig for studerende, praktikere og forskere inden for faget.
